USA on Watch for schmallenberg virus 
  Pat's Note: I have never been happy that we ever got anywhere near the truth about Schmallenberg and how it arrived in the British Isles or indeed which species are impacted. I have lots of reports that don't really tally with the official pronouncements, most recently of antibodies being found in a dog.... more »

PEDV spread to 13 US States 
  Pat's Note: Not getting any better, is it? DNA should sort out the immediate source, in the end. DNA tracing is the game changer that will expose state veterinary corruption and cover-ups in Britain too. [link] Outbreak of deadly piglet virus spreads to 13 U.S. states... more »

Early Crops 
  On the news group comp.sys.raspberry-pi an off topic (they have them too) was the assertion that: Humans have been using cannabis for at least 10,000 years. Which presumably mean farmes were growing it ( I assume 10,000 years ago the sale of drugs acts did not apply). The period seems too long ago. Any view to when non-food cops came under... more »

Is the rise in antibiotic use on farms a threat to humans? 
  Pat's Note: The Guardian is pumping it out as if there was no tomorrow. They must have lost an American whistle-blower in Hong Kong. I'm a happy man tonight. When the good guys need it, I have all the evidence for the inevitable investigation into veterinary corruption. It will shock you all.... more »

UK to urge global clampdown on antibiotics amid public health fears 
  Pat's Note: The net is closing fast now. Classic British veterinary "Blame someone else, preferably innocent." However, the odd shaft of light shines through the vetocratic darkness and associated crime wave. "Meanwhile, other experts are warning that increasing use of the drugs on farms poses a threat to people. Recent studies have shown that the... more »

MRSA CC398 (st398)in Pig Farm Households: A Pilot Study 
  Pat's Note: Nothing unexpected here. Keep the kids away from pigs. Sad, isn't it, especially when the presence of MRSA st398 in British pigs has been hidden up for a decade. Nobody thought it their job to protect the kids. "…By restricting access to the stables and exposure to pigs, MRSA... more »

Pigs Should Be Fed Leftovers To Cut Waste, Say Campaigners 
  Pat's Note: Interesting one. I'm quite convinced that neither CSF 2000 nor FMD 2001 came from swill, either from home or imported ingredients. Too many lobbyists were about fabricating stories that it was the source to believe that. All of those stories were seriously flawed and many of those telling that tale had long records of deception.... more »

Classical Swine Fever in Mizoram carries PRRS 
  Pat's Note: Interesting report mirroring the situation in Britain in 2000, where we know that CSF was not the only virus circulating at the same time. Circovirus was certainly present in the same herds and probably PRRS too, also FMD if the frequent reports of it being in Britain much earlier are to believed.... more »
